Healing at Home: Walk-In Bath Remodel in Niwot, Colorado

 

View the real cost, scope of work, and financing details for this walk-in bath project in Boulder County, Colorado.  See how an educational system retiree was able to transform her bathroom to meet her needs, all while making it affordable.

CHALLENGE

Was it Ridiculous to Plan Ahead?

For Paula, the difficulty getting in and out of the tub was real.

After a recent hip replacement, Paula discovered that her daily routine had become a real hazard.  Standing in the shower was painful, and climbing out of her deep Jacuzzi tub was impossible without help.  Independence—something she’d always valued—suddenly felt out of reach.  Like many Colorado homeowners planning to age in place, Paula needed a bathing solution that restored safety, comfort, and dignity without forcing her to give up the home she loved.

RESULTS

Safety. Quality. Comfort of Home.

HomePride Bath successfully installed a Kohler Walk-In Bath, turning Paula’s outdated hall bathroom into a safe, spa-like retreat designed for comfort and healing.

Her new remodel, which included a Kohler walk-in tub, toilet, shower wall panels, and window trim for a new custom window, now gives her the freedom to bathe safely and independently, with the added comfort of soothing hydrotherapy and heated surfaces.

Backed by Kohler’s limited lifetime warranty and HomePride’s professional installation, Paula’s remodel delivered lasting beauty, value, affordability, and the confidence to stay in the home she loves—on her own terms.

In Case You're Asking: Is this a Fair Price?

How Our Quote Compares to Competitors—Apples to Apples

 

An average walk-in tub with installation in Colorado typically ranges from $18,500 - $30,000+.  Want proof?  Here are actual bids from other remodelers in our area.

Many of these bids are based on using lesser materials, such as American Standard tubs with limited warranties (10 - 15 years).

We quote premium Kohler products backed by a limited lifetime warranty on both products and labor.

Our goal isn’t to scare you—it’s to give you the complete picture so you can make the best decision for your family with complete confidence, just like Paula did.

It’s true, our price isn’t always the lowest.

Here’s Why HomePride Delivers More Value for Every Dollar

When it comes to walk-in baths, we aren't the cheapest.  However, the Kohler Walk-In Bath delivers greater long-term value by combining premium, reinforced acrylic construction with an ultra-low 3" step-in, heated surfaces, fast-drain technology, and a lifetime warranty on both product and labor.  Features that lower-priced competitors like MTI and American Standard often limit or exclude.

Designed for durability, comfort, and safety, Kohler’s system offers a worry-free bathing experience that outlasts standard acrylic or fiberglass models and is backed by a 152-year legacy of quality and excllence.

The Math

Here's how we were able to make her new shower amazingly affordable

Through creative financing options with our long-standing partners, her designer was able to turn a $30,921 price tag into something Paula's budget could easily afford.

Planning Ahead Can Save More Than Money

How Paula Turned a Costly “What If” Into an Affordable “Right Now”

Paula was already facing limited mobility, and she knew waiting until after a fall would mean higher costs and greater risks.  By choosing to remodel proactively, she invested in safety and independence today.  Avoiding the far greater expense of post-accident care tomorrow.
